Into
a kettle-cloud’s
Deafening
eye,
Elapsing;
scattered through,
A
prism’s dying,
Shaded
hue
Vision
skewers
Ordinary
life,
Impaling
the mundane
Cacophonic
strife;
Eliciting
the strange
A
powdered fray
Blurs
the node
Unto
erasure’s
Threshing
code;
Severing
mesh from curve
The
rhythms of neutrality unnerve,
Heroic
monstrosities, bred for night,
Obstructing
the pristine view—
Some
of darkened gloss; some armored in light,
Each,
reminders of what’s in you
Explosions
and facades thereto,
Detonations
of slander,
Indifferent
to the life you bore.
Tearstained
shells, forever in wander—
Endlessly
trawling jagged shores,
Delicately
toed yet forever proud.
I
was just playing around with structure today.
For this particular piece, I was going with a 25 line acrostic poem,
five stanzas of five lines each.
However, the last stanza I wound up using 6 lines, as I thought edited
worked better than edits.
I
also used a structured rhyme scheme here: Abcbc, Cdede, Efgfg, Ghihi, Ijkjka.
